Watermelon and summer just seem to go hand in hand. There’s something so satisfying about bringing home a ripe juicy watermelon that’s as big your kitchen sink and slicing it into thick chunks. When my enthusiasm for this melon is bigger than my appetite, I cut the leftovers into cubes and freeze them in handy 2 cup portions. Then, whenever you’re craving a taste of summer, you can whip up this refreshing smoothie bowl in about 5 minutes.

It’s been a hot minute since we’ve been to Hawaii but I’m still picturing lush tropical hikes to a waterfall, river kayaking, and those soft trade winds that temper the heat.

I usually buy a frozen tropical fruit mix for this smoothie bowl recipe, but it’s fun to get creative and blend up your own fruit mix depending on what you have on hand. For a balance of flavors that are both sweet and tart, try a combination of mango/papaya with pineapple and other sweet fruits like peaches and berries. The magic ingredient, though, is silken tofu. It creates fool-proof creaminess every time and gives you a plant-based protein kick too.

Acai Berry Smoothie Bowl

Acai Berry Smoothie Bowl Recipe (Raw Vegan)

Jump To Recipe

If you’ve been thinking about making your own smoothie bowl at home, I promise you won’t be disappointed with this acai-berry smoothie bowl recipe. It’s bursting with fun fruity flavor, loaded with toppings, and is such an easy way to enjoy a quick, nutrient-dense breakfast.


Acai Berry Smoothie Bowl

Acai Berry Smoothie Bowl

What’s the first smoothie bowl that you ever tried? If you found yourself wandering into a smoothie bowl shop, there was probably an acai bowl on the menu looking intriguingly purple with a colorful confetti of toppings. This was my first smoothie bowl experience, and it was love at first bite.

If any one ingredient can be credited for starting the smoothie bowl craze, it would have to be acai, (pronounced “ah-sigh-ee”) an indigenous berry from the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. Açai’s popularity skyrocketed after discovering that the pulp holds its very high nutritional value (we’re talking loads of antioxidants) if frozen soon after processing. This made it available word-wide. It’s so convenient to use frozen acai puree because you can keep the pouches in the freezer for whenever you’re craving that purple frosty smoothie bowl fun.

You can make your own acai berry smoothie bowl at home (for a fraction of the cost) with some basic ingredients. You’ll need acai, berries, bananas, peanut butter, dates, and some vanilla and salt for extra flavor. I also like to throw in chia seeds because why not add more nutrients and thickness to our amazing smoothie bowl?! The fun part is choosing colorful toppings to pile on top. I really enjoy granola, seeds, coconut flakes, and fresh berries.  Just get creative here and sprinkle with whatever makes your heart smile.

Ready to give it a try? Here’s 3 reasons why it’s just as fun to make your own acai berry smoothie bowl at home:

1. Convenient, add all the ingredients to a blender and blend

2. Economical, make your own for a fraction of the cost of shop-bought

3. Delicious and nutritious, loaded with antioxidants and berry flavor

Simple yet decadent, this delicious vegan chocolate smoothie bowl is made secretly healthy with cauliflower and black beans. If you love rocky road, you’ll definitely want to try this one!

Healthy Rocky Road Smoothie Bowl

Healthy Rocky Road Smoothie Bowl

What do you think of when you hear the name “Rocky Road”? Does rich, melty chocolate, and all the yummy mix-ins come to mind? It sure does for me! It also gets me excited to jump in the kitchen and combine whole plant foods that create the same flavor as this ice-cream parlor treat.

The most important part of any vegan chocolate smoothie bowl is the chocolate, obvs! That’s where black beans come in handy. They blend up super smooth and are totally undetectable when combined with cacao powder, sweet bananas, and dates. It’s like a healthy chocolate secret weapon. Another neat way to sneak veggies into smoothie bowls is cauliflower. Once steamed until fork tender and frozen, cauliflower becomes very mild and creamy when blended. You really can’t taste it!

Toppings! This is the fun part. Rocky Road was the first ice cream to add multiple mix-ins, making it new and decadent, which gave folks something to smile about during the great depression when it was first introduced. You can add the classic nuts and dried fruit or go to town with all your personal favorites.

Protein-packed and fiber-rich, this simple yet decadent chocolate smoothie bowl is a great way to enjoy dessert-for-breakfast with all the health benefits of whole foods.

 3 reasons to fall in love with healthy rocky road smoothie bowl:

1.  Undetectable healthy, tastes just like chocolate

2.  Full of plant-based protein and fiber

3.  Quick and easy to make in a blender

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. If using canned beans, drain and thoroughly rinse the beans to avoid a beany taste. One 15 oz. can is approximately 1½ cups. If you have cooked dried beans, measure out 1½ cups. For extra creaminess, thaw your cauliflower slightly before blending. Just let it sit on the counter while you gather your other ingredients.
  2. Add the black beans, bananas, and almond milk to a blender container followed by the almond extract, cacao powder, salt, dates, and cauliflower.
  3. Securely attach the lid to your container and blend until creamy, starting at low speed and working up to medium speed. You may have to stop and scrape down the sides of the container or use the tamper (with a Vitamix) to push the food down and around toward the blade. This will take about a minute or more, depending on what type of blender you are using.
  4. Scoop the creamy chocolatey mixture which will be the consistency of loose pudding into two or three bowls. Top with sliced almonds, coconut flakes, and cherries. Just for fun, plop a fresh cherry on top for that old-fashioned ice cream parlor look!

Notes:

Top with sliced almonds, coconut flakes, and dried cherries.
